# What is Geotribu? | ||

From a strictly formal point of view, Geotribu is a [domain name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name). And three suffixes (.fr, .net, and .org, while the [.com has long been squatted](https://www.whois.com/whois/geotribu.com) waiting for us to become [rich](https:/geotribu.geotribu.com/www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=Geotribu&e=com)). | ||
There is no structure: neither entrepreneurial, nor associative, nor a blood pact in a tipi. In fact, the agreement for loaning the server used to [host images]({{ config.extra.url_contribuer }}guides/cdn-images-hebergement/) from [GeoRezo] is in Julien’s name, and the [domain is owned by Fabien](https://www.whois.com/whois/geotribu.net). | ||
|
||
It’s a spontaneous gathering of people around a shared professional interest: the geographic aspect of each person’s profession. Then comes the "editorial" line, set from the beginning, which I present as two sides of the same coin: | ||
|
||
- on one side, the technical aspect: IT labels us as "geo-geeks," convinced that mastering tools serves thematic work, while keeping in mind that tools are the means, not the end. | ||
|
||
- on the other side, openness: a philosophy naturally aligned with the sharing approach inherent to the site (have you noticed the [copyleft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft) symbol at the footer?). Beyond our own belief that open-source, open access, and the commons are virtuous levers, it doesn’t mean we never use proprietary software or look down on it; rather, we believe that proprietary vendors usually have the means to do their own advertising. | ||
